Chase Rutherford Novels & Stories

Suddenly, Jason’s voice echoed in the live stream room. Both Jason and Alex stood protectively in front of Kimberly, while my grandmother and Mr. Williams glared at me with disdain. They had actually tracked me down to the live broadcast location. Alex fumed with anger, he stepped forward and punched John. He ordered him to turn off the screen. Seeing the fear in John’s eyes, I gave a subtle nod, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then shut down the screen and scrambled to flee the live stream.

We stared around to see if there was anyone that looked like the picture but we found none. He tried to track the number but the network was bad and it didn't work. “Hello, Mr Haley. I was informed that you want to see me.” A young man said as he approached my table. It was the manager of Daisy Club, he just arrived. I had met with him during one philanthropic outreach I did. “Let's go to your office. I need you to confirm someone's identity and tell me what you know about the person.” I said. “Someone’s identity?” He said confusedly.

CHASE [8:07PM] "I just finished a meeting in the adjacent room. May I show you the way?" I sighed and offered him a smile. It was a kind gesture on his part. ME [8:08PM] "I'm not going anywhere until 10 o'clock. See you tomorrow night!" I must say, Chase was the complete opposite of Kent. He was unfailingly polite, had a knack for making friends, and genuinely cared about how others were doing. However, Chase and I weren't as close as we could have been, primarily due to two reasons. First, we were quite different from each other. Chase was an early riser, followed a strict diet of plain chicken breasts and brown rice, exercised regularly, and adhered to a regular sleep schedule. He avoided

The ache in my muscles, the sting of sweat in my eyes—it all felt right, like I’d found a missing part of myself again. During a break, I dropped down on the grass beside Rafe. “You’ve built a solid team here.” He nodded, wiping his face with a towel. “Chase doesn’t take just anyone. He looks for people who give a damn. That’s rarer than skill, sometimes.” “Yeah,” I said quietly, watching Ellis teach one of the younger recruits how to pivot on his back foot. “It’s rare.” “You fit right in,” Rafe said after a pause.

He stopped, dropping his gaze back on his phone. ‘As a Rutherford…’ those words played back about a billion times before I could get a grip of myself. “I am not a Rutherford.” I aired, quietly, so very quietly but Ricci heard. He frowned as he stared at me. “The next time you hold your phone, do yourself a favor. Search up yourself online. The name you’d see there is Mrs Chelsea Star Ambers- Ricci Rutherford. To reduce wasted breaths, Mrs Chelsea Rutherford. You are my wife, Chelsea.” He stared a little longer but breaking into a tiny smile and reconnecting with his phone.

I know you will flourish just like you did from the first day I met you. Your trusted friend, Chase X

"I didn't know we needed your permission to speak, D." Oh, great. I didn't sign up for the arguing. Chase takes in my expression and he chuckles. “This is Derek. He's rude to everyone equally. It's his personality.” Chase supplies, bumping the dark-haired guy playfully. "He’s charming, but only after 10 AM, apparently.” Derek rolls his eyes. “I’m focused. Unlike you, Chase.” "Shut up, dude.” Chase laughs, nudging him. “Don’t listen to him, Isabella. He’s the resident cynic. So, public health huh? Any special reason? I’m here because I hear it’s the easiest way to fulfill my humanities requirement.”

The entire drive home, I kept glaring at Chase from the passenger seat. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “You ruined my chance of reconnecting with Murphy.” He looked completely unbothered. “I saved Murphy actually.” “What does that even mean?” “He’d thank me if he knew what I stopped today.” “Stopped what exactly?” Chase glanced at me briefly before focusing back on the road. “Mason doesn’t share well.” I groaned. “I am not with Mason.”

Looking at the other people exiting the elevator, she recognized a friendly familiar face and she was no longer forcing her smile. “I’d like to introduce you to Jared Chaser of Rapture Investments. He’s becoming a big hitter in our field and has some great options for securing the capital.” Josey wasn’t able to make eye contact with Jared at first as he nodded and shook Tarrin’s hand. The moment he turned and saw her, they both smiled as he started walking over to stand near her. “My assistant will show you gentlemen to my office. Refreshments are coming shortly in case you haven't had lunch, so please make yourselves comfortable.”
